Finally Some More Pictures

I no longer have a computer at my house so I have not been able to update my blog as much as I would like.  Thanks to my sister, Marie, I finally have a whole bunch of random pictures for you all.  Sorry, but this is going to be a long post.

Okay, let me explain.  This picture was taken the day after Ellie was born.  It was my first time out of my bed after my C-section.  I looked down at my feet to see this beautiful sight.  I thought they were going to explode any second!  Doesn't it look like I weigh 600 pounds??  Apparently, I had way too many fluids pumped into my body.   I'm glad to say that after a couple weeks of waking up in full out sweats my feet are now back to normal.

I had to show you Greg's get-up for the C-section.  We called him "Marshmallow Man."

Ellie has gotten so much bigger!  It makes me a little sad because I love how innocent and cute she is right now.  She is the sweetest baby.  She hardly cries and when she does it is for a reason.  I love her!

Notice how Ellie is giving the "hang loose" sign.  The bouncer is the only thing she will sleep in.  Greg calls her "H.M." (high maintenance).

These are just some pictures of the funny faces she makes.  I love the one with the flower headband because the flower is as big as her head.  She hasn't quite grown into it yet.

Okay--becky romney(galbraith now) here. I found your blog and thought I'd say hello! And I understand the whole c-section thing. I'm not kidding, reading your story was like my own memories. Ouch! I'm so sorry, but in the end it looks like it was worth it! She's beautiful! Really, just like her mama. Hope life is better than the delivery seemed to be.

Michelle I was dieing when I saw your feet b/c mine are all swollen right now( I had to get a c-section too). I was so happy when I saw that your feet went back to normal- there is hope for me!! Also one of the pictures reminded me of how Sharlie will fight me when it comes time to nurse!haha
